What's a good replacement for a Lexus CT200h?

We are looking for a replacement for a 12 year old Lexus CT200 which had all the bells and whistles in its day. We also have a Honda CR-V so don't need another 'big' car. It will be a second car but we want comfort, reliability and something that will last a similar amount of time. Unfortunately we don't like the UX range. The best option we have found so far, with heated electric seats, good infotainment etc is the Hyundai Tucson or the Kia Sportage but both are bigger than we need. Our 'shopping list' is heated leather seats, electric adjustment, higher driving position, good infotainment/DAB, hybrid, automatic, reliability, good running value and comfort. We have a budget of up to £25,000 plus the exchange of the Lexus.

It sounds like a Kia Niro Hybrid will tick all the boxes. Look for one in '4' trim for features like the heated leather seats with electric adjustment. Alternatively, a Toyota Yaris Cross could be a good option - but it's not available with the power seats and I suspect might be a little small for your needs.
